Default LS2 350Z begins.. Part II

Im reposting this consolidating all the pics.

The car is a Silver 2004 Nissan 350z that I bought in June and originally turbo'd and got bored with it within a few months which is why im doing the car now. I recently purchased an 05 LS2/t56 drop out with low miles. My original plans were to drop in a PTE 78 and do a custom front mount turbo system but after taking a **** load of measurements theres simply just not enough room without cutting the rad support and moving stuff around and I refuse to do a rear mount....so gonna stick with the old nitrous setup this year Next year after the car has been running for a while, ill most likely cut up the front end and turbo it. I dont have alot of pictures yet(there really isnt anything to take pics of yet)..but as everything starts coming along I will add pictures.

Im using the Hinson supercars swap kit along with his 1.875" long tubes into a custom exhaust ill be making. My plans for right now are just a decent size cam (238/240) a 200 shot and all supporting mods. My cars curb weight is 3188 and ill be removing a few lbs trying to get the car down to 3100 with the LS2 in(no a/c). Heres a few pic of the previous set up..and some of the new.


This is how the look of the car will remain. Clean and stock. No body kits, decals, underglows, ect...

Well, while waiting for my stuff to get in I decided to roll my fenders. Now you can only roll the fenders so much before you run into issues with paint cracking...however in my case I want as much room as I possibly could. So my body guy told me to just roll them and do whatever I had to do and he will go in smooth, and repaint the quater panels. So I went to town with the fender roller completely flattening the fenders. If you notice on the pics the fender sticks out a little bit past the rear bumper. Thes either going to push that part back in a little bit or pull the bumper out..with how much pressure I put on the fender roller it seemed to slightly(2-3mm) pull the fenders out and actually looks really good. When I bring it to him hes going to see if he can get a few more out of it before getting into major body work..any little bit helps. Heres the pics:**sorry for the ****ty cell phone pics**



You can see how far up I folded them..I have big tires to fit back there haha

Here you can see what I was talkin about with the fender being pulled out a bit..

Heres the new ass view...it looks so much better with wheels/tires that actually fill the wheel wells..

This is the terminator of all shifters..unfort. with how the center console is I had to use this lever type shifter( I couldnt use the gto version of the B&M or GMM because the arm goes up to high when going into 1st 3rd 5th and reverse..with this shiter the arm stays parallel.)


I decided to convert the factory style returnless system to a full return system with an aeromotive FPR..it looks much better in there now.
